Chapter 973: Chapter 635: The Man is Intense, Tao Minmin Takes the Initiative to Invite the Top Scholar and the Crown Princess Out of the Palace_2

Xue Huai hurried the horse carriage to the inn’s backyard.

After dinner, Feng Qingyan lay in bed early to rest and recuperate.

Jun Moqing, having nothing to do, also began to undress, preparing to go to bed and rest.

Feng Qingyan lay under the covers, watching Jun Moqing stand by the bed undressing. It wasn’t the first time she had seen this, so she felt no embarrassment.

Moreover, in the afternoon, she had even intentionally touched his abdominal muscles. Twenty years had passed, yet they were still as firm as before.

Jun Moqing lay down on the bed and looked down at the woman, who was staring at him without blinking.

"Can’t sleep?"

Feng Qingyan said, "It’s still early, how could I sleep?"

Jun Moqing nodded thoughtfully, "Shall we continue then?"

"..." Feng Qingyan: "... You certainly can!"

Jun Moqing uttered a "hmm."

Feng Qingyan: "..." A "hmm" again?

She shifted further inside the bed and then pulled up the covers, wrapping herself tightly, fearing the man would see her and get excited.

What a joke, if they continued, how would she be able to ride a horse and travel tomorrow?

Jun Moqing watched her actions, his gaze somewhat resentful...

At this moment, in the Capital of Daxia

After leaving the palace, Tao Minmin’s family were anxious to arrange her marriage prospects, but after meeting several suitors, none had been successful, frustrating Tao’s father greatly.

"You say, it was you who wanted to enter the palace, and you who wanted to leave the palace. Now we look for a husband for you, and yet you refuse, Minmin, what exactly do you want?" Tao’s father felt that all his white hairs were due to worry.

Mrs. Wang said earnestly, "Minmin, don’t be upset by your father’s blunt words. You’re not getting any younger, at your age, many are mothers of several children. With our Tao family’s background, we need not worry about finding suitors, but why won’t you agree?"

Tao Minmin took a few sips of tea and said, "They are after our family’s money, I will not marry such men."

Tao’s father thought it was a minor issue, were they afraid of running out of silver?

"If they weren’t interested in our family’s wealth, would they be so proactive in proposing marriage? As long as we have it, let them be interested. What matters is that you like the man."

Tao Minmin spoke earnestly, "Father, you don’t understand. Right now, you see them being honest and speaking nicely, but once they get the money, get the shops, they will turn bad. Then they will be out there philandering, bringing concubines back home. What do you expect your daughter to do?"

"Isn’t it normal for a man to take concubines? Look at those men outside..." Tao’s father, upon meeting Mrs. Wang’s gaze, gradually softened his voice and then fell silent.

"Father, you don’t know, even the Crown Prince can be exclusively devoted, so why should an ordinary man, with no merits of his own, spend my family’s silver, live in my family’s house, and also bring a concubine back to disgust me? I refuse." After speaking, Tao Minmin began cracking melon seeds.

Tao Minmin was in this state, not only because she had read too many tales of Phoenix men, but also because she had witnessed the love between the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, and the love between Xun Qingqing and Jun Wuxian.

She envied them and also yearned for love, choosing to wait for the ideal rather than settling for less!

Mrs. Wang was so anxious she almost cried, "Child, but continuing like this isn’t feasible is it? If you keep delaying, you’ll be older and it will be even harder to get married."

Tao’s father couldn’t help asking, "Don’t you fancy anyone at all?"

Tao Minmin paused in cracking her melon seeds, raising her head to glance at her parents, "I fancy the Top Scholar, can you go propose a marriage for me?"

Tao’s father: "..."

Mrs. Wang: "..."

Isn’t their daughter aiming for the moon?

Tao Minmin knew from her parents’ reactions that she was indulging in a hopeless fantasy.

She sighed, indeed it was a hopeless fantasy.

How could the Top Scholar possibly take notice of her?

Tao’s father and Mrs. Wang were left speechless, while Tao Minmin found herself in a much quieter place. After finishing her seeds, she dusted off her hands and left the residence.

Outside, the cold wind was piercing to the bone.

After stepping out of the sedan chair, Tao Minmin huddled into her fox fur coat—she remembered the Top Scholar Residence was nearby.

After a short walk, she saw the signboard of the Top Scholar Residence.

As she hesitated about whether or not to have Ding Xiang knock on the door, a horse carriage headed in her direction.

The carriage stopped in front of the Top Scholar Residence and she then saw a man dressed in a moon-white brocaded robe step out of the carriage.

Tao Minmin immediately recognized him as the Top Scholar; it was truly a coincidence that she had mustered the courage to come here, and he happened to be returning from the palace.

She stood not far away, torn about whether to approach and greet him, but unsure of what to say if they met.

She was a merchant’s daughter, her hands tainted with the smell of copper coins.

The Top Scholar was a scholar with a wealth of knowledge, a tutor to the Imperial Grandson.
